You know what you need to do. So why do you keep putting it off?

In this episode, I’m breaking down why procrastination isn’t always about being lazy or unmotivated - and how stress, overwhelm and avoidance can keep you stuck in the same cycle.

I share the simple three-step process I use to interrupt that pattern, make the thing I’m avoiding feel less overwhelming and actually start taking action.

Because waiting until you feel motivated, confident or completely ready can keep you waiting forever.

You don’t need to solve everything today. You just need to stop waiting and take the first step.

How to Stop Procrastinating (The 3-Step Method)

Finding a manufacturer in China is easy. Finding one you can actually trust is the hard part.

In this episode of Make It Happen, we sit down with TK Wang, founder of Epic Sourcing, who has spent more than a decade helping businesses source and manufacture products in China.

We get into how to tell whether you’re dealing with a genuine manufacturer or a middleman, the red flags to look for on Alibaba and why TK recommends getting suppliers on a video call before you place an order.

TK also walks us through the process he recommends before committing to a manufacturer - from creating a golden sample and signing a purchase agreement to having your products independently quality checked before you make the final payment and ship them to New Zealand.

We also talk about minimum order quantities, manufacturing on a small budget, protecting your designs, communicating with suppliers, tech packs and when it might actually make more sense to manufacture locally.

If you’ve got a product idea but have no idea how to find the right manufacturer to bring it to life, start here.

Kim Crossman has spent more than 20 years building a career in entertainment... but becoming a mum has changed everything.

In this episode of Make It Happen, we sit down with Kim to talk about what happens when the career you’ve spent decades building suddenly isn’t the only thing defining your future.

We talk about the uncertainty of an industry where your next job is never guaranteed, learning to back yourself through change, and how becoming a mum to Coco led Kim to rethink what she wanted her next chapter to look like.

Kim opens up about her experience with postpartum prolapse and how one of the hardest periods of her life exposed a problem she couldn’t stop thinking about. That problem eventually led her to become a co-founder of Vital Bits - a business dedicated to postpartum recovery and wellness products.

We get into career reinvention, starting a business for the first time and using a personal brand to open doors in an entirely new industry.

Kim Crossman: How Motherhood Led Her to Reinvent Her Career & Start a Business

Most people think building wealth is about earning more. But what you do with your money matters just as much as how much you make.

In this episode I’m sharing my 9 money habits that have shaped how I’ve built my wealth and how I think about money altogether.

I’ve learned that looking wealthy and being wealthy are two very different things. From refusing to spend $20 on a drink while owning a $300,000 G-Wagon, to realising that chasing more money was costing me friendships - these are the lessons I wish I’d learned sooner.
